A leather jacket is more than just a garment—it's an investment in style, character, and durability. With the right care, it can stay with you for years, gaining more personality with every season.
In this blog, we share the best tips to keep your leather jacket in top condition, year after year.
1. Clean it properly
Leather is a breathable material that requires delicate care. Follow these steps to clean it without causing damage:
- Light cleaning:Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust after each wear and help maintain its look.
Pro tip:
You can remove light dirt with a soft microfiber cloth, but if deeper cleaning is needed, it's better to leave it to professionals. Otherwise, you risk causing irreversible damage.
2. Condition it regularly
Leather can dry out and crack over time if it loses its natural moisture. To keep it soft, shiny, and in great condition, apply a leather conditioner every 3 to 6 months:
- Apply a small amount to a clean cloth.
- Gently rub it evenly across the jacket’s surface.
- Let it fully absorb before wearing again.
Note: Use only products specifically made for leather. Avoid body lotions, home oils, or non-specialized products—they can cause damage.
3. Protect it from sun and moisture
Moisture is one of leather’s worst enemies. While leather offers some water resistance, it’s not waterproof. That’s why you should avoid wearing your jacket on rainy days and dry it properly if it gets wet.
- Let it air-dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like dryers.
- Avoid prolonged sun exposure—it can dry out and fade the leather.
- Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore flexibility.
- Don’t hang it near windows or in humid environments.
- Store your jacket in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space.
- Never leave it inside a parked car under the sun or near heat sources—this can lead to cracking or hardening.
4. Store it correctly to avoid damage
Improper storage can deform your leather jacket or cause it to crack and lose its texture. Here’s how to store it right:
- Hang it on a wide, padded hanger to help preserve its shape
- Store it in a cool, well-ventilated place—avoid airtight plastic bags that prevent the leather from breathing
- If you're not wearing it for a while, cover it with a breathable fabric garment bag, like cotton
- Never fold your leather jacket—this can create creases or cracks in the material
Caring for your leather jacket isn’t complicated—it just takes regular attention and the right products.
With these simple steps, your jacket will retain its softness, color, and shape, staying with you for years to come with a timeless style that never fades.
